    Really really fooking amazing. The best part is viewing the source. Beautiful html.

    I wouldn't normally give 5 stars for "Engagement" when there's no engaging content, and the music's kind of off-putting. But once I realized there was no Flash, I just clicked all the nav items again and again and again. I'd call that pretty engaging!

    Love the inline audio player js!

    The ONLY problem, and this is somewhat major, is the obscured nav items. I switched over to view it on a Macbook and the navigation was impossible to get to. The lack of scrollability (I realize this is necessary for absolutely positioning your slide effects) means I can't scroll down to see them. On a Macbook, in Firefox, with the Web Developer toolbar, you're about 40px short to see the entire nav area. I'd go ahead and chop off the top of his hard.

    Brilliant work Chris!

      Oops, I meant to say "the top of his head." Or maybe I was going to say the "top of his hair." Musta mixed the two.

      I'm gonna get that resolved for sure. I'm sure I can make it so you can at least scroll down to the nav. it works with your average Firefox browser with tabs open at 1024x768 now, but if you have a bunch of toolbars or other crap it would get cut off.
